Patent CA-2473028-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CALDAS VICTOR
IPC: B05D1/36
Filed: 2003-01-08
Abstract: Selectivity embossed surface coverings are prepared by mechanically embossing a wear layer which overlays at least one printing ink containing a photoinitiator which has been printed in a pattern or design. The embossed wear layer is subjected to ultraviolet radiation which causes curing of the wear layer in the surface areas disposed over the printing ink. The product then is fused whereby the mechanical embossing in surface areas which are not disposed over the printing ink relaxes and becomes smooth. In a variant of the invention, a thermoplastic wear layer is employed which can be mechanically embossed in the surface areas which are not disposed over the printing ink with a texture different from the first applied mechanical embossing. In another variant, two different spectral regions of UV curing radiation are used so that a urethane coating can be employed as a top coat with a selectively embossed surface.

Title: Antenna adaptation in a time division duplexing system
Inventor: REGNIER JOHN A
IPC: H04B7/02
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: A technique for steering a directional antenna such as may be used with User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Optimum angle settings for the directional antenna are determined as different values for an uplink and downlink. Directional settings may be optimized independently. In further aspects, an optimum direction is determined by estimating an interference signal power which is detected from signals emanating from adjacent base stations (access points) and determining a directional setting that minimizes interference to adjacent cells based upon such measurements. A further level of sophistication in antenna angle setting, is to monitor the loading of adjacent cell sites base stations and turning interference and determine the settings accordingly to minimize interference to such heavily loaded neighbors. Further aspects of the invention adapts to acquisition modes that accommodate the directional setting in active use of the system.

Title: Compositions, methods and kits for detection of an antigen on a cell and in a biological mixture
Inventor: SIEGEL DONALD L
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-09-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods for detecting a member of a known binding pair in a sample, including a cell, where one member of the pa ir (termed the "receptor") is expressed by a bacteriophage, which phage is then used to detect the presence of the other member of the pair (termed the "ligand" or "target"). Rather than detecting the binding of the phage using antibody-based technology, the present invention relates to detecting the nucleic acid associated with the phage. In one aspect, the invention relates to identifying an antigen-bearing moiety (e.g., a red blood cell antigen) of interest present on a cell, e.g., a red blood cell, using antibody-displayin g bacteriophage, as well as detecting anti-red blood cell auto- or alloantibodies and/or complement in a sample, using antiglobulin reagent- displaying bacteriophage and detecting a nucleic acid associated with the phage.
